Promoter Bickering and Jibes Continue Over Joshua vs Wilder

Joshua vs Wilder doesn’t look like it will happen anytime soon as boxing politics looks to be getting in the way of making the fight.

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn and Wilder’s promoter Lou Di Bella appear to have an escalating beef that is playing out in front of fans through media interviews and social media.

Deontay Wilder is managed by American boxing power broker Al Haymon who also owns the TV series on which he boxes on, Premier Boxing Champions.

Lou Di Bella’s DiBella entertainment acts as WBC champion Wilder’s promoter but Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has been adamant that DiBella has no say in the matter of making fights for the champion at all.

In a recent interview on IFL YouTube, Hearn noted that DiBella could be feeling bitter about not being the powerful force he once was in boxing.

Both promoters appear to be more than happy to take jibes at one another. But at the potential cost of a cracking fight for fans in Joshua vs Wilder.
